Fiction

Terror-Daxtyl was a member of the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron. After countless attacks had been made on several of the Autobot resistance's positions by Terror-Daxtyl and the rest of the Phantomstrike Squadron, the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce was called into action.

While the Phantomstrike Squadron was stationed in Darkmount, south-east of Alphastrike's position, Greenlight—who had been tracking them from her drop point in a nearby deserted Decepticon zone—attempted to transmit the all-clear for the attack to commence, but the Phantomstrike Squadron discovered her transmission and corrupted its signal. Teletraan-1 attempted to retrieve the full transmission from the Decepticons to gather the location data needed to assess the threat. Following this, a battle ensued between both strike teams.

Part of the Siege "Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron" set, Terror-Daxtyl is a redeco of Pteraxadon in a purple/silver deco. He transforms into a "Double-Edged Flankstrike Axe" that can be held by any compatible toy via a 5 mm post. When the wings are folded in completely, the axe mode somewhat resembles the Decepticon insignia. As a part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, Terror-Daxtyl includes a "Fire Blast" effect piece that simulates their axe mode impacting another object that clips onto the blade-edge. Though not shown in the instructions, an extra post on the body of the weapon (attached to Terror-Daxtyl's head) allows this mode to be held like a blaster, with the handle forming the barrel; the tip of the handle/barrel has a small peg for attaching blast effects, including the axe impact effect by the hole on the "impactee" side.

Terror-Daxtyl was packaged with Skywarp, Fracas, and Shrute. This multipack was an Amazon exclusive for North America (which also labels the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 2") and a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan. This mold was also used to make War for Cybertron Trilogy Enerax, Kingdom Autobot Sights, and Shattered Glass Collection Fireglide. He, along with the rest of the Phantomstrike Squadron, was rereleased in early 2025, this time exclusive to several online retail sites and Gamestop in the United States.
